the one thing i dislike about one of my lqs is the fact that the owner talks the whole time i'm shopping. i find that very distracting and annoying. greet me when i come in the door, say a few words to make me feel welcome, then let me look around and take in all the lovely fabrics. sometimes i go to a lqs just to pick up one quick item, but enjoy a little "me time" at the same time.
